Please forgive the rampant selfslutting but I'm having my own book published by an indie, although it was meant for October (veru optimistic of me to assume this and tell everyone on my site) it now is destined to go back to January/Febuary.
It's a book of short stories and verses, I would say poetry but it's more like pages and pages of Daphne & Celeste style chants. I hope you will all buy it when it comes out. It's called Commercial Suicide and I am very proud of it.
My official site is getting a revamp soon. Send me a PM and tell me that you love Clara Bow.

I wondered what had happened to this. Are you not going with the girly-tattoo cover? I thought it was kind of cool, even though I hate tattoos.
Having checked out your website, I think your stories sound v cool.
So there.
Who is publishing it? Will you make much money?

Matador Publishing. Yes, I will but only because they are putting money into it and the copies are limited. They loathed the girly tattoo cover and forced me to get rid of it. And I thought indies were cool. Bums!
Unfortunately for me, Heathers has made such an impact that I love writing stories like it. Like Kurt Cobain and The Pixes, I'm branching out.

Jesus man, that's really full-on! Did the publishers decide for you? Personally, I liked the "tattoo" cover and I thought something interesting could have been done with Clara Bow or someone similar. But I am a girlie and I like girlie-looking things. I will totally buy this as I've read the stories on your website and I think they're really cool.
[rant] We need more radge stuff like this around. It really cheeses me off when a load of old mince gets hyped up as being really interesting and new and it's shite. Have you read Politics by Adam Thirwell? It is the biggest load of studenty wank I've ever read and LOOK at how much hype he got. [/rant]
